Doc

I consider myself very fortunate to have stumbled onto this series. It is a wholesome, entertaining, interesting series, with great acting, fast-paced and compassionate stories, and a wonderful, refreshing moral sense. I talk about it to all of my friends, and even to people I don't know! We view it on CH TV, Hamilton. Thank you, CH

A couple of years ago, I went to Delaware on vacation, and nothing was on TV one Sunday night. So, I watched a show I had never watched before...Doc.

Since then, I have been watching obsessively. I love love love the show, my favorite character is Nancy, she kind of reminds me of myself. I'm always ready with a comeback. I also love Tippy. Gotta love a blonde. Thanks to PAX for making such an AWESOME show! My mom is thrilled because most of the things I watch aren't great for my younger sisters to watch with me. Its great that on a Sunday night, there is something I can watch that my mom isn't mad at me for.

The show is the only one I like that my dad also likes, for what ever reason he's not as fond of Sue Thomas. My mom likes both but doesn't watch them very often. I do as much as possible. If a book series ever comes out or they come in completely (all seasons) on DVD I want to collect them as soon as possible, for both Sue Thomas and Doc. My only problem is I wish Clint and Nancy would get together and get married and then we could see some of their life as a married couple (maybe it shows something in the last episode?).Also how Clint proposed, a wedding, any kids(if there are any of these), and info into what each of them do. Like does Raul become a doctor, cop, teacher or what and does Ms. Dewit ever marry, what do the Doss's do, etc. The only clues I have to the end aren't entirely reliable, besides I don't want to know until I watch it. (But I'm curious). Also is Doc based on a true story (?), I know the same people to put it together also did Sue Thomas and thats based on a real story.

I do hope that "Doc" will continue. I continue to be impressed with the writing and performing on this program, and still believe that it is probably the most wholesome series of its type on TV today. (I am still "catching up" on the programs I have missed, so it will be some time before I can say that I have seen all episodes.) And wouldn't it be great to be able to purchase the complete series on DVD or video!

By the way, I was fortunate enough to have seen Billy Ray Cyrus in "Annie Get Your Gun" here in Toronto, and will be going again on the last night of its current run at Massey Hall, a venerable old theater. This is a new genre for him, but he is fortunate to be playing opposite Louise Pitre of "Mamma Mia" fame, and his performance was very well received. I am so pleased that I will be able to see this great musical again.

I stumbled upon "Doc" after watching "Little House..." on the Hallmark Channel and was pleasantly surprised. This show worked for Billy Ray and I found it believable. The show was well written, the cast was well suited, and acting decent. TV needs more of this type of programming, that makes one feel good and is positive. Watching this show made me feel refreshing, invigorated and reminded me to believe in the goodness of people. It was nice to watch this uplifting, positive story and not the hateful, violent, cynical material and bad screenplay and writing that now fills TV programming in recent years. TV these days caters to the youngest TV audiences and sacrifices quality in favor of sensationalism and violence.
